Built for the SolInfra Advanced Infrastructure Challenge
A self healing Solana transaction stack powered by Jito bundle submission, real time slot streaming, full lifecycle tracking, and an AI agent that reasons about tip sizing and failure recovery autonomously.

JITO_BLOCK_ENGINE_URL=dallas.testnet.block-engine.jito.wtfpnpm startTxPilot has two AI agents powered by LLaMA 3.3 70B via Groq:
Analyzes real time network conditions and decides the optimal tip:
- Samples recent tip account transactions
- Calculates p50/p75/p90/p95 percentiles
- Reads current block utilization
- Returns structured JSON decision with full reasoning
Diagnoses failed bundles and decides retry strategy:
- Classifies failure type (blockhash_expired, fee_too_low, leader_skip, bundle_dropped)
- Reasons about root cause
- Decides whether to retry, refresh blockhash, and adjust tip
- All retry decisions come from the agent, zero hardcoded logic
Every AI decision is logged with full reasoning text for auditability.
In my observed runs, the processed→confirmed delta averaged ~3,000ms under normal conditions. This delta represents the time for the network to reach supermajority vote (66%+ stake) on the block containing the transaction.
A wider delta signals network stress, validators are taking longer to communicate votes, forks are competing, or stake is concentrated in slow regions. In my logs, bundle #11 showed a processed→confirmed delta of 3,011ms vs the average 3,374ms, suggesting slightly faster validator convergence during that window. If this delta exceeded 5,000ms consistently, I would treat it as a congestion signal and instruct the TipOracle to move to p90 tip automatically, which is implemented in the agent's reasoning logic.
Q2: Why should you never use finalized commitment when fetching a blockhash for a time sensitive transaction?
A blockhash is valid for 150 slots (~60 seconds). The finalized commitment level lags ~32 slots behind the chain tip. Fetching a finalized blockhash means starting with a 32-slot handicap, consuming 21% of the validity window before the transaction is even signed.
In my retry scenarios this matters critically: a transaction that fails and needs 2–3 retry attempts has roughly 400ms per attempt overhead. Starting from confirmed commitment gives ~118 valid slots of headroom vs ~86 with finalized, a 37% improvement in retry tolerance. I use confirmed commitment for all blockhash fetches in TxPilot.
The bundle is silently dropped with no on-chain trace. Unlike a failed transaction which produces an error receipt, a skipped-leader bundle simply never appears on-chain. The bundle ID status never progresses past pending.
My FailureAnalyst agent handles this by monitoring for bundle timeout, if a bundle hasn't reached processed within 10 slots of submission, it's classified as a potential leader skip. The agent then waits 4 slots for the next Jito leader window, refreshes the blockhash, and resubmits. This is implemented in the leader_skip branch of the fallback analysis logic.
Real bundle submissions with verifiable slot numbers are in logs/lifecycle.json.
Sample entry:
{
"bundle_id": "d62f4b30-a4ff-4c...",
"attempt": 1,
"submitted_at": "2026-06-19T...",
"submitted_slot": 470553347,
"tip_lamports": 220000,
"tip_agent_reasoning": "Given the current block utilization of 68%...",
"stages": {
"processed": { "slot": 470553359, "delta_ms": 3427 },
"confirmed": { "slot": 470553366, "delta_ms": 6437 },
"finalized": { "slot": 470553361, "delta_ms": 16452 }
},
"outcome": "success"
}Deliberately waits 60 seconds after fetching blockhash before submitting. The FailureAnalyst detects the 149-slot-old blockhash, classifies it as blockhash_expired, refreshes and resubmits.
Submits with 1 lamport tip. Jito rejects with minimum tip error. Agent classifies as fee_too_low, retries with market-rate tip, succeeds on attempt 2.
